Boca have been on an awful run of form of late, having not won since their penalty shootout success against Lanus in May.
The last time they won a game in 90 minutes was April 20 with the 2-0 win over Estudiantes.
Their recent results include losing to Bayern Munich and drawing to Auckland City at the Club World Cup.
While they have also struggled in the Primera Division, having not won once in their three second-phase games.

Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Huracan meant that the streak is the club's longest without a win in their history.
As tensions have heightened, Rojo has been exiled from the squad by manager Miguel Angel Russo and his staff.
ESPN Argentina claim the decision to throw out the former Red Devil was made after an argument between him and the coaching staff.
Rojo, 35, is not the only player to be banned from the first team, as he is training with the also banished Marcelo Saracchi and Cristian Lema.

The report claims that the decision will "not be reversed" and Rojo could even have his contract terminated.
This would be the end of the defender's career at Boca and leaving him looking for a new club.

It has also been revealed that the three stars are not even allowed to use the locker rooms at Boca's Xeneiza training centre.
Rojo is believed to have already asked to leave the club but has not received any offers.
The last time he featured for the team was in the penalty shootout win over Lanus.
Rojo joined Manchester United back in 2014 from Sporting Lisbon for £16million.
He won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League during his time in England.
However, a cruciate ligament injury in 2017 marked the beginning of the end of Rojo's Old Trafford career.
Having played 95 times in the first three years, the following three saw Rojo feature in just 27 games.

Man Utd transfer news: Benjamin Sesko boost as Bruno Fernandes makes demand
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes wants to see more signings before the transfer window slams shut and RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is their top target Manchester United are looking to bounce back this season after their worst ever Premier League finish. United finished 15th last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. They have already strengthened their squad with additions of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, while Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan and Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have been released. Plenty more incomings and outgoings are expected before the transfer window slams shut, with Ruben Amorim keen to ship out the likes of Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Sesko boost Manchester United have received a boost in their pursuit of Benjamin Sesko after it emerged that the striker's RB Leipzig team-mate Lois Openda will not be making the move to Sunderland. United and Newcastle are both interested in signing Sesko, who netted 21 goals in 45 games across all competitions last season. Fellow Leipzig striker Openda had been heavily linked with Sunderland and it is unlikely they would have let two forwards leave in the same window. However, Sky Sports are now reporting that Openda will not be joining Sunderland and that Leipzig are likely to sell Sesko instead. Fernandes' transfer demand Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has said the club need to add "more quality" in the transfer market this summer. "It's improving, but it's not where we want it to be," Fernandes said after United drew 2-2 with Everton in pre-season. "It's a game of football, there's always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it's normal, it is part of the game. It's been positive [the US tour] and it's good to create a bond with the players. "We looked a bit lazy today and we need to change that. We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. I think that's what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that." Shearer verdict Former Premier League striker Alan Shearer is confident that Benjamin Sesko will be a success if he joins Manchester United this summer. When asked if Sesko has the skill-set to thrive in England, Shearer told Amazon Prime: "I do, I think it's a matter of who can afford him. There is no doubt that this football club has a history of making an absolute fortune on transfers and this guy could be the next one to come into the Premier League. "Either foot - left or right - which is great to see. The work rate, the work off the ball, he's got all them things and he's got very good technique, good balance and I don't think there is a doubt in my mind that and he would look very comfortable in the Premier League. I do think he has a lot to learn, but he can learn no doubt."

Why Manchester United's new stadium plans are delayed
Manchester United 's ambitious plans for a new 100,000-seater stadium to replace Old Trafford have hit a major obstacle. The club is at an impasse with local landowner Freightliner, which is demanding £400m for land United values at £40-50m. Spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the project includes extensive housing, leisure, and retail spaces, designed by Sir Norman Foster's firm. United aims to complete the stadium within five to six years, with sights set on hosting the Women's World Cup final in 2035. A taskforce estimates the regeneration could bring an extra £7.3bn to the British economy and create 92,000 jobs, with government backing for the project.

Newcastle launch improved bid for RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko
Newcastle have raised their bid for RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. Manchester United had still to submit a formal offer for the Slovenia international as of Monday afternoon. Newcastle's first bid was worth an initial €75m (£65.5m) with a further €5m (£4.3m) in add-ons but the Tyneside club are now guaranteeing the Bundesliga club at least €80m. United opted to prioritise a move for Sesko over Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins but the 22-year-old's price tag is creeping up now Newcastle have increased their initial offer. Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben is said to have held positive talks with Leipzig on Monday. Sesko is thought to be waiting to see what United do before making a final decision on his future. However, Leipzig are reported to be unwilling to sell Sesko below their stated expectations on a fee. On Sunday, Omar Berrada, the United chief executive, said the club's director of football Jason Wilcox and his recruitment team were working 'around the clock' to make further additions to the squad. United wanted to sign Liam Delap at the start of the season but the striker turned them down in order to join Chelsea from Ipswich for £30m. 'We have a team back home led by Jason – the recruitment team – that is working around the clock to ensure that we continue to find opportunities to strengthen our squad. There are lots of late calls and early morning meetings to make sure that we stay on top of it.' Newcastle's move for Sesko comes amid continuing uncertainty over the future of Alexander Isak. The Sweden striker has signalled his desire to leave St James' Park. Liverpool had a £110m bid for Isak rejected last Friday.
